"Before I had kids, you was my son," Snoop tells Bow Wow in the clip. "That's just what it is. It's the same with J.D. I've seen how he raised you. Like, he put his career on pause for you. Know that!"

"You got to get people to start thinking that Bow Wow is grown," Dupri adds. "You gotta come out of that shell."

Sitting in between the two at dinner, Bow Wow looks to Dupri and reassures him that he's "got this."

Things turn serious when Dupri gets real with Bow Wow, telling him that he thinks he's not giving it his all.

"I don't believe you're working hard enough," Dupri says. "You're driving the car in only first and second, there's three more gears in that car."
